Market Looks to Hold Gains from Yesterday’s Snap Back
Yesterday Tech finally had some power as the market snapped back to some broken trend lines. What was perceived as a decent Spain (http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.4333333333,-3.7 spn=10.0,10.0 q=40.4333333333,-3.7 (Spain) t=h) debt auction and headlines of a positive U.S earnings helped propel the market higher. Add an impressive Apple (AAPL (http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:AAPL)) bounce to the mix, and you had a recipe for strong gains. At this point trading has been choppy with multiple divergences, but the S P 500 and Nasdaq (http://www.nasdaq.com/) are only about 2.5% off their highs. Only 4 of the IBD 50 are below their 50day moving average. So this corrective phase has been fairly muted as of yet.
Lots of market participants are asking, was that the correction? At this point…

Upbeat On Possible Earnings Surprises From Skullcandy And Sonic Automotive
By Tom Payne:
Extremely large short positions create a degree of excitement around earning announcements. A large short position can be quite an accelerate for price appreciation if earnings beat the street estimate. Low beta stocks can suddenly gap up, leading to a flurry of short covering.
The Examples
Sourcefire Inc., Inc (FIRE) has a huge short position. The institutional holdings in Sourcefire is 114% of the outstanding shares. The short interest is approximately 16%, and it would take 10 days to cover. The earnings announced on 2/12/2012 beat the street estimate and the stocked gaped from about $ 34 to $ 37. The stock then traded straight to $ 50.
Ultimate Software Group, Inc. (ULTI) put out their 3rd quarter earnings and the stock gaped up. ULTI gaped from about $ 52 to $ 56. Since then ULTI has traded as high of $ 72.29. Institutions at the time owned slightly over 100% of the outstanding shares. The
Futures Bouncing From Highly Oversold Levels
Overseas markets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market) are bouncing back from what has been a multi-week decline for most foreign indices. The U.S markets have been down for 5 days straight, bringing the McClellan Oscillator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McClellan_Oscillator) to screaming oversold levels (-95). These readings typically coincide with some type of snap back in the markets so covering shorts into yesterday’s action made sense. An interesting stat I saw from Bespoke (http://bespokeinvest.typepad.com/) last night, yesterday we had the most oversold stocks in the market since October 4th, 2011, and we know what happened on that day. Alcoa (http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:AA) (AA) delivered a rare upbeat report to help with this morning’s tone.
S P (http://www.standardandpoors.com/) futures are up almost 10 handles after a 4.3% move off the highs. We…
